Subject: 'git pull' complains that a locally resurrected directory would be overwritten by merge when no pulled changes are affecting that directory
Date: Tue, 24 Aug 2021 09:41:49 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <01514401-78f6-3fdc-aa74-c519fb6ab427@rawbw.com> (raw)
In the FreeBSD ports repository I resurrected the directory (that was
removed a long time ago) with the command:
> $ git checkout {hash}~1 -- math/polymake
I made local changes to this directory and called 'git add math/polymake'.
Then 'git pull' complained:
> $ git pull
> error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten
by merge:
> math/polymake/Makefile math/polymake/distinfo
math/polymake/files/patch-Makefile
math/polymake/files/patch-support_install.pl math/polymake/pkg-descr
math/polymake/pkg-plist
No incoming changes affect math/polymake. Nobody has created this
directory simultaneously with me. There is no intersection with incoming
changes.
Why does 'git pull' complain then?
Yuri
